Remember that many public vaccination programs are relying on healthy people taking on risks to protect others. Right now, more people are being harmed by polio vaccinations than by wild polio: https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/polio-vaccination-causes-more-infections-than-wild-virus-66778 https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/polio-vaccination... I think that is a perfectly acceptable trade-off given the the long-term goal of eliminating polio entirely. I also think it's totally ok to ask people to bravely face a risk to help others (a fairly small one in this case). I even think it can be ok to ask minors, and parents, to take on those risks in some circumstances, and I think polio elimination is one of them. But it's a trade-off that must be done openly, with consent.
